Forecast for the Logan Area Mountains
Tuesday, December 30, 2014
Strong east and down canyon winds created dangerous avalanche conditions in the backcountry. There's a CONSIDERABLE (level 3) danger. Natural wind slab avalanches are possible and triggered avalanches are likely in drifted terrain at all elevations and on slopes facing every direction. Also, you still might trigger a deeper, dangerous, and destructive persistent slab avalanche on a steep upper or mid-elevation slope facing the northern half of the compass.
- Careful snowpack evaluation, cautious route finding, and conservative decision-making will be essential for safe backcountry travel.
- Avoid fresh drifts and wind deposited snow on steep slopes at all elevations.
- Strictly follow safe travel protocols. Only expose one member of your party at a time, and keep a good eye on each other.
